The University of Oregon has self-reported eight secondary violations to the NCAA that were committed by the athletic programs during the 2014-15 school year — news that was first reported by The Oregonian/OregonLive.
Most of the violations, which span across multiple sports, seem innocent enough to the casual fan, though they still represent a breach of conduct to the NCAA. Some include returning a phone call from a recruit’s mother, transporting a player to Corvallis, allowing a player to compete before being cleared and several errors in scouting.
Due to the three-year probation placed upon Oregon after the Willie Lyles case, the university has been extra diligent in being compliant with all of the NCAA rules. All of the self-reported violations fall under Level III or IV, meaning they should be dealt with quickly and no further punishment will be issued.
The number of transgressions is down from the previous year, when Oregon had 14 violations.
